SDK Update

Documentation:

• We added liveries samples.

DevMode:

• We split the “Documentation†tab in the DevMode into 2 links: “Open local,†to open the files you downloaded with your SDK update, or “Open online,†which will lead you to docs.FlightSimulator.com. The latter should always be the most up-to-date, even though we try to avoid differences between them.
• Along with the next update, we shipped a first wizard, which will automatically create the XML files for your newly created airports.
• We fixed a crash when exiting “one-click placing†with Properties window visible.

SimConnect:

• We now expose Rotation Acceleration simvars. Available with the next update!
• The SimVarWatcher sample has been updated to include recently added SimVars and Units.
